   We've been a few times to Basilico. The has been excellent, service always good, and a nice atmosphere. The Wine list is short, but there are good choices available.

   They came to our table 3 times to let us know they were short on the mains. We made changes to accommodate them, without much apologizing on their part. We had a member of our party, who became violently I’ll. They did not react in a proactive, or compassionate manner. In fact, they were more concerned about their reputation, than her welfare. Very disappointing for all 8 of us in attendance.

   It was very busy when we arrived but the service was quicker than expected. The waitress was always smiling and helpful. The food was overall good to great. Good sized portions. The pork belly was quite tasty. 😋 The wine list is on the short side but good choices are available. A worthwhile visit in Bracebridge!

   We had a really lovely time out on the patio. The food was delicious and our server (who's name I've forgotten but she planted the herb and veggies on the wall behind us !!!!) was so lovely and fun and attentive. Best patio and view in Town.

    Went for our anniversary. Sat on patio. Had reservation . Patio is nice . Railing near table cobwebs . Very basic no table cloth, placemat. Pizza was good , spaghetti good but not outstay for the price and portion. Wine list is limited and too pticey.. As a new resident to Bracebridge and a long time cottages this does not promote return business. This is unfortunate because the location is lovely.Has the potential to be a local favourite.Should have corkage option.

    We had a great time at the restaurant on the patio outside for Jazz night. I really enjoyed my meal and the service by Shawn was amazing I would only say that the fries were over salted and the bun for the Chicken Parm was big for the portion of chicken Will come back again!!

    Basilico is an amazing Italian restaurant. The food is incredible and the service was outstanding. I brought my wife there for our 25th wedding anniversary and loved everything about the restaurant. We definitely will be back and our server Natasha definitely needs to be praised. She was great. Thanks for a great dinner.

    Constructive feedback as follows: very slow service, no cutlery with the Gelato, but did manage to grab a fork from another table, spaghetti and dry meatballs was a child's portion at best, salmon was done nicely as was the chicken marsala. The mushroom ragout was also good. We were offered a gift card but didn't accept it. Hope this helps the owner make necessary adjustments.

    Sundays they are only open until 5pm So when booking the 4:30 spot on Open Table be aware that you have to quickly order your drinks & food. The service was good and the food was really good! My only other complaint would be that you can’t reach anyone on the phone…ever! It goes right to voicemail and after leaving a message they didn’t respond until an hour before our reservation.

    The table was nicely set for our group of 11. Our host was friendly and good with the kids. The prices were reasonable and that’s what I most appreciated. It was nice to be in a fancy place without super inflated costs. The food was hit and miss…the baked Brie was cold and the meatballs were tasteless. But otherwise it was good. I had asked for a dessert for the person celebrating their birthday, and specifically asked if a candle could be lit. I said I didn’t expect this to be free and would pay the normal dessert price. She agreed. Then a dessert showed up with no candle in it and she just said “here’s your birthday cake.” Which defeated the purpose. I still left a tip above and beyond the automatic “18% large group gratuity” (of which I was not notified ahead of time). Because I appreciate being able to go out at all. But I don’t know if we’d go back again. Maybe just as a couple.

    We had a fairly good experience. We were reccommended this place by a friend. We made a reservation and asked to sit on the patio. We were told that the best available spot was on the second deck (not the lower deck). I noticed as we were being seated, a free table right at the prime location that we were hoping for, so I suggested that we wouldn't mind waiting for it to be cleaned so that we could sit there instead. The hostess recognized that and said that she would clean it right away. She came back 2 seconds later and said that it was too busy down there and the second deck table was the best she could give us. We did not understand the reason, but we are pretty relaxed and wanted to still enjoy the experience so did not push it. After we got our drinks, we noticed that they had sat a walk in couple down at that same table, not even 5 minutes after we were denied the table. It definitely threw a curveball in to our experience and left us feeling a bit confused and disappointed. Everything else was amazing, the food was fantastic. Our server Shaun or Shawn, was one of the most delightful people we have ever met. His energy lit up the second deck. Don't lose that shine Shawn. Overall, still a great experience other than the table confusion. Thanks guys.

    We dined on a Sunday afternoon. The patio was not particularly busy (~50% capacity). Service was rather slow given how busy they were. After leaving for Toronto I realized that I got double charged on two dishes. Don’t understand how such mistakes could be made by wait staff or kitchen. I don’t think I’ll be back.

    My son has anaphylactic allergies and the team took this very seriously and even brought him out his own order of garlic bread to ensure there was no sesame. He had the biggest smile ever because it made him feel very special and his anxiety significantly decreased.

    Unfortunately this place the only thing it really has going for it is the outside patio. Service poor, can be over looked based on current employment problems but the cooking was bland, extremely small portions and our garlic bread was cold in most parts.
